About this listen

A young man knows he needs to escape the desperate financial clinging of his alcoholic mother. It’s well past time for him to have a life of his own, settle down with his girlfriend, and look to the future. He wants those things, but something is wrong. He has forgotten something very important and needs to remember.

The night the black classic Chevy shows up in the drive-thru at his work, it all comes crashing down on him, and suddenly, his future may not be what he hoped, not even close.

When a young man sits at his bedroom window, staring into the death and destruction his neighborhood has become, he isn’t remorseful over all that’s been lost. Instead, he celebrates it, for the lawlessness that has overtaken the world has freed his creative, evil impulses. He’s a killer looking for one more death…or is he? There’s something about Michael that isn’t what it seems, not yet anyway.

Being allowed to make three wishes, and have anything she wants, isn’t appealing to Delia Martinez because she believes the old man who has offered such an opportunity to her is a fraud. When she realizes she was wrong, and that she is now encountering the opposite of her wishes she’ll move heaven and earth to get her three wishes back, but can she afford the price that will be asked of her? Sometimes making a deal isn’t just a deal when it comes to the devil.

Coming Up Short 8 is a new collection of tales of the macabre and the mysterious by the author of the award-winning Within the Fog series.

Warning: These stories will keep you up late at night, nervously chewing your fingernails, cringing at every little creak of your home. Our reality may not be what you have been led to believe.

For fans of The Twilight Zone, the Coming Up Short series will be familiar, and twisted territory!
